From the looks of it, Slick is trying to draw attention (kudos) from a girl who clearly does not wish to be bothered (social queue = earphones). That's the best I can figure.

*cue (A queue would be like a line people are waiting in or something)

I don't think the girl actually plays into it. She seems to be just part of the background. If you look at the monitor screens, Slick is running all around showing off his cookie. That'd be the jackass part. It doesn't seem to me like he is specifically trying to draw her attention in the comic. He seems to be trying to get attention from anyone because he got a cookie._________________My deviantArt - Blog-ity blog

Yeah it's more or less just how it's always been with them. Turmoil but funny. I mean, seriously...Slick's face in this made me laugh. Just his, "What?" expression, hearing Nique's voice chastising him when she's not even there._________________ My Art
